    The good thing about playing ska is that skanking can be a legs-only affair, leaving the top half of the body free to concentrate on playing bass!

    Monkey Chapmanstick bought one recently for £250 IIRC.

    I know there's official sites and forums out there too, but I found this photobucket album with a load of Japanese catalogues in it - [url="http://s227.photobucket.com/home/vintagejapanbass"]http://s227.photobucket.com/home/vintagejapanbass[/url]. ....In case your interested.

    By ' a good 10lbs' I meant 'at least' I have since found [url="http://www.grouseguitars.com/sold/ibanezlhroadster.htm"]this[/url] Which says they're 5kg (11lbs) exactly.

    Any Thunder love? Bumpissimo.
  6. chaypup
    They're a good 10 lb's - I just sold mine yesterday funnily enough.

    It was made in 1984. In the Matsumoku factory in Japan. More details are here - [url="http://westone.info/thunder1abass.html"]http://westone.info/thunder1abass.html[/url].

    1980 Ibanez Roadster Fretless. Bad points first - some of the laquer has peeled of at the bottom of the body. The owner before me [u][i]scored lines into the fretboard[/i][/u] - wazzock! There is also some wear on the board where (I assume) roundwounds have been used. If I were keeping this I would strip the fretboard, get rid of the score marks and recoat it. Good points - Plays beautifully well (for me) massive variety of sounds through the active preamp and has a lovely tone. Really good point - [b]Only £150!

    First heard this when I was out on Saturday - Blew my socks off! A Big Fat Bootsy Bassline - what so never the dance (The Houseguests)
  13. chaypup
    Houseguests - What so never the dance. Right now it's my favourite bassline I'm off to post this in the funk & groove section!

    While weeping over the last one, I saw this rather lovely (albeit a snidge on the pricey side) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WESTONE-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR-MADE-JAPAN-HARD-CASE-/260781412634?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cb7c8911a#ht_674wt_936"]Thunder IA.[/url] Beautiful condition but not the original knobs, but someone may well correct me on that.
  16. chaypup
    Slightly off-topic, but did anyone here bag the Thunder II that was on Gumtree today? Not a scratch on it, double precision version with an XLR out! Guess how much........... ...... £160! I was JUST too late - Gutted!
  17. chaypup
    Piece of Yamaha [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-60s-Yamaha-Samurai-SGV-Electric-Bass-Guitar-NR-/260780710253?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cb7bdd96d#ht_4369wt_1300"]weirdness[/url]

    Daion basses

    chaypup replied to chaypup's topic in Bass Guitars

    Thanks Jon - I was hoping you'd show up on this thread!

    ....and look at these Fernandes'! [url="http://www.oldguitar.jp/catalog/fernandes/Fernandes_Burny_70%27s_0015.jpg"]http://www.oldguitar.jp/catalog/fernandes/...70%27s_0015.jpg[/url]
  22. chaypup
    Yes, apologies - I was looking at the Daion page and got all excited and posted here before I looked at the rest of the site! There's a nice wasburn in there though as well as a couple of sexy looking BC Rich's
  23. chaypup
    Looking around for info, I found this site which has loads of catalogues of all the Jap brands from 60's-80's. Very useful! [url="http://www.oldguitar.jp/catalog/catalog.htm"]http://www.oldguitar.jp/catalog/catalog.htm[/url]

    Aloe Blacc - I Need a Dollar Only took about 20 seconds to learn but while watching the Jools Holland performance on youtube, I saw that he was using my favourite band as his backing band! United Vibrations - they're ace!

    Came across these rather sexy things and wondered if anyone here had one/knew much about them. It appears they were made in the Yamaki factory between '79 and '84 although I've seen a few mentions of them being Matsumoku (which I doubt) Here's a few pics which I used from here: [url="http://gallery.daionguitar.com/"]http://gallery.daionguitar.com/[/url] [attachment=78944:00002daionbass.jpg] [attachment=78945:00003Daion.jpg] [attachment=78946:00004Daion.jpg] [attachment=78943:000001Daionbass.jpg] Are these more common in the States and OZ than here? Any info appreciated
